Introducing: The Color of 2010

"Pantone is pleased to announce PANTONE 15-5519 TURQUOISE, an inviting, luminous hue, as the Color of the Year for 2010. Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise inspires thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a comforting escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing."

Expect to see turquoise all around you this year - both in fashion and interior design. The great thing about turquoise is that it has both warm and cool undertones so it goes well with a variety of colors; such as: black, grey, cream/white, lime, yellow, orange and shades of pink and red.
